Kaufmann und Maid [English translation]

[Verse 1: Sasha, Alea, Patty, Ben]

Once a noble merchant encountered a gal

Directly in front of the gates of Dummdidadeldei

He asked her, where she comes from, a woman so lovely and well-behaved

And how is she here, towards Dummdidadeldei

She answered him at once with an angelic voice

„I very well come from here as well, from Dummdidadeldei

But may I ask, who is speaking, draped in such noble threads“

The merchant kissed her hand: „People call me Dideldei“

[Pre-Refrain]

And they went in the tavern

And they drank noble mead

And they dreamed into the distance

And they sang this song

[Refrain]

Dummdidadeldudeldadeldummdidadeldei

Dummdidadeldudeldadeldudeldadeldei

[Verse 2: Alea, Patty, Ben]

The angelic maiden breathe softly into his ears

„Did you not know at all that my name's Dummdidudel?“

The donkey-minded merchant, oh, the love-crazy fool

Rushed in his own urge for ecstasy towards Dummdidadeldei

But is the Pope Catholic1 and they were two lovers

The nights were long and "Dideldummdidudeldei"

That maybe sounds strange today, but in a few years

Dummdidudeldei had 13 little kids

[Pre-Refrain]

And they went in the tavern

And they drank noble mead (Noble mead)

And they dreamed into the distance

And they sang this song

[Refrain]

Dummdidadeldudeldadeldummdidadeldei

Dummdidadeldudeldadeldudeldadeldei

[Bridge: Sasha, Patty, Alea, Ben]

They stood in front of the altar, the angels sang aloud

„Dummdidadeldudeldadeldudeldadeldei“

„From now on you should be my chevalier and I'm your bride“

Said the beautiful Dummdidudel to her beloved Dideldei

But the gorgeous maid was longing for her old time

She kept her maiden name Dummdidudel, without bullshit

The merchant Dideldei was cool and agreed with her

And from then on they were known as Dummdidudeldideldei

[Pre-Refrain]

And they went in the tavern

And they drank noble mead (Noble mead)

And they dreamed into the distance

And they sang this song

And they went in the tavern

And they drank noble mead (Noble mead)

And they dreamed into the distance

And they sang this song

[Refrain]

Dummdidadeldudeldadeldummdidadeldei

Dummdidadeldudeldadeldudeldadeldei

[Outro]

Hey!

1. It's a rhetorical question, meaning "definitely yes" (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/is_the_Pope_Catholic) - thank you [@mike_en2de] for pointing it out!
